Less Clicking, More Crafting

Trading Noise for Peace

I’ve made a few changes lately. Some of the “high-tech” gear is moving on down the trail. Truth is, I’d rather be working with wire, leather, and thread than staring at screens and software updates. Shoot, at my age, I need a little brain rest, y'all. 

There’s something honest about simple tools and steady work. No passwords, no cords, no blinking lights — just hands, materials, and the satisfaction of making something that looks right and feels solid.

I’m thankful to still be able to make stuff and to keep learning. It feels good to get back to the kind of making that doesn’t need a restart button or a software update. 

ALTHOUGH - I am about to jump back into the YouTube/podcast world with more intention which - ya, you guessed it - involves tech gear and software. Guess I'm never going to get clear away from it in this "day and age". 

Which reminds me - if there is a particular Slowdown Sunday topic or Cowgirl Town update you'd like to hear, let me know!

(It’s my business line, so you won’t be interrupting supper — I’ll call you back.)

With laughter and light,
